Gordon-Levitt on board for 'Sandman' adaptation

Joseph Gordon-Levitt may direct and star in 'The Sandman'.
The actor-and-director, who made his debut behind the cameras with 'Don Jon' earlier this year, is in talks with Warner Bros. to produce the film adaptation of Neil Gaiman's dark comic book series with David S. Goyer, and the deal could include a starring role and a directorial credit, also.
